SUMMARY:Intermediate Design School
DESCRIPTION:Next Level Design\nExperienced layout technicians will find this blended learning course useful to understand the tools they utilize in-depth and gain a deeper knowledge of layout standpipes\, fire pumps\, seismic protection\, and the design requirements for general storage. In addition to mastering requirements in NFPA 13\, NFPA 14\, and NFPA 20\, students will utilize computer modeling software to apply design requirements learned throughout the course\, becoming familiar with the BIM process. This course begins with an orientation and two 3-hour webinars followed by five days of in-person instruction. \nThe course will begin with an orientation and two 3-hour webinars providing an overview of the toolsets available in the Hydratec for Revit® software to allow students to utilize Building Information Modeling (BIM) for exercises. \nThis is followed by five days of in-person instruction. The course is designed for those with layout experience looking to understand the tools they utilize in-depth and gain a deeper knowledge to apply the design and installation requirements for general storage\, install and calculate seismic protection\, layout and calculate standpipe systems\, size\, and select-fire pumps\, and apply hydraulic principles to complex wet\, deluge\, and preaction systems. Seismic protection and sway bracing will also be covered in detail. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nMember Price:  $2\,100 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNonmember Price: $3\,100 \n\n\n\n\nMore Info & Register

SUMMARY:Modifications of Existing Systems
DESCRIPTION:The single-point density concept was finally adopted for the 2022 edition of NFPA 13\, and the area/density curves became obsolete. This change sparked an overhaul of the Modification to Existing Systems chapter in NFPA 13 and included a lot more direction for changes to systems already in service. This webinar will review the new structure of the existing systems chapter and additional requirements for evaluating\, modifying\, and testing existing systems. \nLearning Objectives: \nUpon completion of this webinar\, attendees will be able to: \n1. Identify the existing system requirements that were relocated from Chapters 4-29 to Chapter 30\n2. Identify and apply the five new parent sections in the reorganization of Chapter 30\n3. Identify installation allowances for existing systems\n4. Identify appropriate design criteria for modifications based on the installed system\n5. Identify and apply acceptance test allowances for existing systems \nDetails:  \nRegistration Fees (per person): \nAFSA Member with no CEU: FREE\nAFSA Member with CEU: $25\nNon-Member: $250\nAHJ without CEU: FREE\nAHJ with CEU: $15 \nContinuing Education Credit: \nThis webinar offers: 0.1 CEUs\, 1.0 CPDs \nTo receive continuing education credits for the webinar\, you must do all of the following: \n\nRegister individually using your name that matches your fitter certification\, if applicable.\nConnect with your unique webinar link\nDo not share or use someone else’s unique webinar link.\nAttend the webinar in its entirety\nRespond to each checkpoint question\nSubmit a completed evaluation form within 14 days of the webinar\n\nPlease check your time zone to ensure you connect at the right time: \n9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Pacific Time\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM Mountain Time\n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Central Time\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Eastern Time  \n Register

SUMMARY:Responsibilities of Layout Technician & Installer (CAL FIRE)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a webinar to learn about the responsibilities of a layout technician and an installer. The communication and relationship between the layout technician and the installer are crucial throughout the project to provide proper protection. The layout technician must clearly illustrate what is required by code and in the installation\, and the installer is required to make the system come to life. This discussion will clarify what both parties require to complete the job efficiently and effectively. \nLearning Objectives: \n1. Identify the pinch communication points between a layout technician and an installer.\n2. Differentiate the responsibilities of a layout technician from the engineer of record\n3. Detail the tasks required of the installer \nDetails:  \nRegistration Fees (per person): \nAFSA Member with no CEU: FREE\nAFSA Member with CEU: $25\nNon-Member: $250\nAHJ without CEU: FREE\nAHJ with CEU: $15 \nContinuing Education Credit: \nThis webinar offers: 0.1 CEUs\, 1.0 CPDs \nTo receive continuing education credits for the webinar\, you must do all of the following: \n\nRegister individually using your name that matches your fitter certification\, if applicable.\nConnect with your unique webinar link\nDo not share or use someone else’s unique webinar link.\nAttend the webinar in its entirety\nRespond to each checkpoint question\nSubmit a completed evaluation form within 14 days of the webinar\n\nPlease check your time zone to ensure you connect at the right time: \n9:00 AM – 10:00 AM Pacific Time\n10:00 AM – 11:00 AM Mountain Time\n11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Central Time\n12:00 PM – 1:00 PM Eastern Time  \n Register

SUMMARY:Beginning Design School
DESCRIPTION:The Beginning Design School presents a comprehensive\, practical approach to preparing fire sprinkler system drawings. \nOver a three-week period\, students will attend six live webinars studying and reviewing the installation and design approach requirements of NFPA 13 (2019) while completing self-paced exercises and module assessments. Q&A sessions and open discussions will also be included as part of the online instruction. \nThe second part of the class will be a week of in-person training preparing fire sprinkler system layout\, shop drawings\, and hydraulic calculations by hand. The course concludes with a comprehensive exam of the class content including the installation requirements and hydraulics. \nThere is no CAD or third-party software taught in this class. \nLearning Objectives:\nThe school will prepare the student to: \n\nAccelerate the comprehension of plans and various types of building construction for proper sprinkler spacing applications.\nDetermine the proper and economic planning of sprinkler system layout and installation methods.\nKnow the importance of sprinkler specifications\, types of pipe\, hangers\, fittings\, flow tests\, etc.\nLearn to develop shop drawings from start to finish.\nLearn to coordinate with other trades – plumbing\, mechanical\, structural\, and electrical.\nPerform manual hydraulic calculations by hand\, preparing the student for a more natural decision-making process when using a computer to perform hydraulics.\nPrepare shop drawings in class for projects with different applications.\n\nPrerequisites:\nThis class is designed for trainees and entry-level technicians with at least six months of experience as well as those with experience in the sprinkler trade looking to make the transition to system layout. \nJuly – San Diego; September – Dallas; November – Orlando \nThe final week of each session will be hosted on location. Hotel location TBD. \nMore Info & Register
